So, what is Baton Twirling?

“The Sport of Baton Twirling is a relatively new discipline that has evolved through many dimensions.

The distinguishing fundamental characteristics are:

* Handling of the baton instrument to create visual images, pictures and patterns, executed with dexterity, smoothness, fluidity, and speed, both close in and around the body and by releasing the baton into the air.

* Expression of the body through dance and movement to create a demonstration of strength, flexibility, physical fitness, beauty, aesthetics, and harmony in coordination with the manipulation of the baton.

* The incorporation of gymnastic movements adapted to baton twirling to create additional elements of risk and excitement.”
